Ø  Rossi has no competition, makes the rules, leads- so this patent was 
necessary and is useful.

 

It may be useful, but is difficult to imagine Rossi as leading the pack, with 
this as his flagship patent. The claims are very narrow, and that is very 
risky. 

 

BTW here is the digital document from USPTO, instead of the scan:

The value of this disclosure absolutely depends on lithium hydride in 
combination with aluminum. Anything else is not protected – for instance 
lithium hydride in combination with magnesium lets one avoid the claims, as 
does lithium hydride alone.

 

That narrowness in claims is risky - and such lack of breadth usually indicates 
the inventor knows that one ingredient, and only one ingredient works … which 
may be the case … but this narrowness is no doubt also an acknowledgement of 
the massive portfolio of BLP and Mills, most of which is pending. This very 
limited disclosure was granted quickly – as part of a strategy, but has almost 
no value other than to protect lithium hydride and aluminum reactions with a 
liquid. 

 

For another example – lithium and aluminum could be used as an IR heat source 
and avoid any conflict or with a TEG or Stirling. I am very surprised they 
limited this to a fluid. BTW a Chinese patent has already been granted for a 
Stirling engine LENR variant which mentions Rossi by name, which is most 
curious since it assumes that Rossi’s IP can be avoided but that the best 
implementation for it is a Stirling engine.

 

OTOH Rossi’s Boston law firm is known to be competent, despite the obvious 
apparent weakness in this filing. Apparently Rossi believes that he has tried 
all the permutations, and only LAH works.
